Geomagnetic storm/Aurora watch 13-14 July 2013

A Coronal Mass Ejection observed on 9 July is expected to arrive on 13 July around 1600UT (that is around 2am AEST 14 July). See the IPS alerts here.

As usual there is some uncertainty, and the impact could occur earlier or later. Unsettled to Minor storm conditions are predicted for high latitudes (Tasmania, Southern New Zealand, Australian Antarctic Territories) tomorrow and the day after (Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th). Although high latitudes are the best bet, the last two auroral shows were seen in Victoria and WA, so keep an eye peeled.
